My Review
I’m all about cleaning up our oceans and shorelines. I felt a connection to the story as I live on the Gulf Coast and have seen lots of pollution, and when I was younger and had the time, I would volunteer to help with clean up.
The book is about the size of a magazine which allows you to fully see and appreciate the beautiful illustrations. Nancy’s story is fun, her character, Violet, is a thoughtful young lady, and each page has information on different alternatives to plastic and how we can contribute to less waste.
I read this more than once and enjoyed it each time. Readers of all ages will find something to relate to.
